The contents of file-hierarchy.7 have been copied over to the new page in uapi-docs, and are already going stale here, since a bunch of additions and improvements has been made there. OTOH, a commit was made here, but not there. https://github.com/uapi-group/specifications/pull/172 updates the other doc. OTOH, a reader should also read MOUNT_REQUIREMENTS if they care about what systemd cares about. Thus, replace most of the text in our man page by a reference to those two pages. In case we later want to list some disagreements or differences wrt. LFSH, we can always add a paragraph or two here, but having two documents with almost the same content is not going to work.
